Seed ill February aud March iii potis, or on a 
spent hot-bed in drills, 4 inches apart. Soon 
after the plants are up prick out into a cold 
IVanie, or uiulor hand-glasses, 3 to 4 inches 
apart, from whence they can be planted out 
when 4 inches high. Select showery weather 
for planting, w'heii the grouud is in good 
working order ; plant out in rows 1 foot 
apart each way. To grow Asters to ner- 
fection a rich deep soil is indispcn.^anle, 
aud during dry weather they should be 
watered, and a top dressing of well-rotten 
mauure applied early in August. Be very 
particular that they are ahvay.s thoroughly 
.free from insects when they are planteil out, 
otherwise the leaves will become curled, 
and vigour and protection lost for the season, 
if required for e.xliibitiou the buds should be 
tlunued, and the plants well watered with 
li(piid mauure. During the last fortnight 
cover with glass.
